The faces and behaviour of online avatars could help identify the
people controlling them

http://j.mp/oS8QN4  (BBC)

   "The faces and behaviour of online avatars could help identify the
    people controlling them, scientists believe.  Using both
    characteristics, researchers hope to develop techniques for checking
    whether the digital characters are who they claim to be.  Such
    information could be used in situations where login details are not
    visible or for law enforcement.  Impersonation of avatars is expected
    to become a growing problem as real life and cyberspace increasingly
    merge."
